Saalbach holidays
Jump to sections
Alpine charm and lots to do – holidays to Saalbach in the Glemm Valley mix standout scenery with all-you-can do activities.
Authentically Austrian
This is your picture-postcard Austrian village. Streets of buildings with timber balconies cluster around the onion-domed church, and all around are woods, meadows and more mountains than you can count. There’s authentic culture around every corner here too. You can get a taste for local faves from strudel to schnitzel in mountain huts and village cafés. In nearby Maishofen, lift the lid on what goes into making the country’s best-loved spirit at the Schnapps museum. And to discover the story of the place from Medieval times to now, you can’t miss the Heimathaus Museum.
Strolling and rolling
With over 400km of walking trails, Saalbach serves up some serious stats if you’re eager to stretch your legs. From all-day outings to short loops and themed trails made with little ones in mind, there’s an option for everyone. The tourist board even organises free guided walks if you’d prefer to keep your map in your pocket. Or if cycling’s your thing, you’ve got Austria’s biggest network of mountain bike trails on your doorstep. And whether you’re walking or rolling on two wheels, you’ve got nine different summer lifts that'll get you to the summit without breaking a sweat.
Activities for days
Saalbach’s serves up activities galore, so you’re sorted whatever type of trip is on the cards. The Alpine Golden Gate Bridge and Treetop Trail takes you up among the topmost branches of a pine forest. And just down the road you’ve got Europe’s biggest high-ropes park for even more up-in-the-air thrills. Or if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, how about mini-golf or Archery?
